Tofino Tranquility

Mission Beach beware!! I have found a corner of the planet that offers seclusion, restfulness and relaxation to rival all else...up to this point...Not only is the atmosphere uber chilled, the natural attractions within the region are uniquely stunning. Low numbered, scenic marine transfers are par for the course for any tour around the region, the experience of which heightened by the possibility of whale and bear sightings. Both I got to see during the Hot Springs Cove tour which was quite amazing. Hiking through temperate rainforest and along coastal ridges were fun, as were checking out the differences between Australian and Canadian beaches. My favourite was Tonquin Beach which is a cute little spot surrounded by rock walls and is reached by a short and pleasant walk from the town centre. And any tough day exploring could be rewarded with a few cheeky pitchers at the famous "Mac" or Maquinna pub. The true highlight for me though, was the level of restfulness I felt at all stages of my stay in Tofino. I was completely at peace with the universe and I felt really great energy there. I recommend the place massively and am very confident I will return sometime soon...perhaps even to work....
